JanTenner Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi all, I have just installed PAKT sp1 and it is great. However I have a little problem. Some parts of ship textrues are showing black. This is at only at static ships. I have seen this at two smaller ships at the cruise ship habor and on the ship on the dry dock and a smaller ship besides it. It is worst on the dry dock ship. Therefore I have attached a shot of this one. I have tried to reinstall PAKT sp1, the libaries and to switch between default and NA. But it looks the same. I have seen those black textures also on another screenshot showing this ship on the dry dock. There it is on a smaller scale. So it seems to be no general problem. It is a small issue but it annoys me a little bit because you can see those black in a big distance even when it is foggy. Maybe someone can help. But anyway, the SP1 is a great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi Jan, just made this screenie to double check, this is how it looks on my end I think it has to do with texture loading times, not sure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTenner Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks for checking thst, Wolter. I dont think that it is because of textrue loading time because all other textures are loading fast and this ones are not showing up after minutes. I noticed that Dragonhorn seems to have this aswell http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/41548-ship-in-new-pakt-sp1/page__fromsearch__1 but there are less black areas than with my FSX. So I think it depends on the machine or settings. I will try some more things and report if I find a solution. Again thanks for helping, Wolter.

Dieter Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have the same black areas as shown on Jan's screenshot. (I don't use DX10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Manhart Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Strange issue, I never saw this in the many flights I took up and down the straight during SP1 beta testing (and believe me, I was looking for issues like this!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael63 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi Jan. I just did a post about this particular ship. I don't have the problem that you experience but I think it is odd with the ship standing on the Pier. It could be a corrupt scenery library you have?

JanTenner Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hey Mike, it is a dry dock. So the position is correct. But this was my first guess aswell I tried another anti aliasing mode, reinstalled PAKT, the service pack and the libs, flushed the scenery indexes and it is the same. Anyway, the scenery is great, I will enjoy it even with those little corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 please note that re-installing the current latest library files after PAKT and PAKT SP1 has an adverse effect, so please DO NOT re-install the current library files after PAKT and PAKT SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ White Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 That ship is part of the default FSX scenery item library, so if you are seeing issues with it, it's because of issues with your FSX install, not PAKT. And yes, that ship is in a dry dock Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTenner Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks, Russ. It hought of something like that. Hopefully I can solve it without a reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Seems that the different library versions between PAKT, (111225) and the older one in the support section (111207) are becoming a source of problems. It has been said numerous times in the forums that you should NOT install the library from the support page after installing PAKT and the SP1 because PAKT installs a newer library due to requirements of PAKT. Just rerun the PAKT installer and the SP1 again to have the correct library for PAKT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Could somebody please name this FSX library ship texture? (Is it probably "VEH_water_cargoD.dds"?) Here is a library list of all FSX default and FSX Acc: http://lc0277.gratis...r/sceneobjects/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTenner Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Its me again. I checked another region and found one of the ships I have those black textures problem at PAKT as AI ship. All the textures showed up correctly. So the ship textures are okay. So it has to be somehow related to the scenery. Besides Tongas Fjords I dont have any other scenery for this region. Sounds strange to me because not everybody got this problem. I am running out of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Long time ago we had a similar problem with FTX library cruiser ships in Ketchikan. Just like here several parts of the ships were not correctly displayed for some users. I remember, Holger was referring to that thread, but I can't find it anymore. maybe he's reading this.

JanTenner Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well, I have found the thread Dieter mentioned http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/25724-pnj-missing-textures/page__p__264377__hl__+cruise%20+ship__fromsearch__1#entry264377 But there is also no solution given. Did anyone found a solution to this problem? This one is from 2010. So it must have been solved or forgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friedi Gulder Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi Jan, this is the "Banana-Dampfer", my problem ship from April 2009 (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal, a ship in aerosoft German Airfields "Nordlichter"). You see, since 2009 is there a problem with this FSX ship and I thought it was my graphic card. But I must say, in Ketchikan the textures of this ship are all ok. It would be nice, if Russ can change this ship in a later patch. Cheers. Friedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Heh, the tractor beam Freidi I remember creating that same problem at Bowerman on the ILS unit by messing around with volume shadow in the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
